I would have to say DMC2 Dante is the reason the series hasnt progressed. They don't want to give people a reason to play DMC2 because it was bad and they feel they can avoid putting DMC2 in players hands by not having a story that follows up the end of 2.

The problem with DMC2 Dante as a character is that he rarely said anything and lacks the charisma that DMC1 Dante had. They tried making him the cool, aloof man of few words when most of the fanbase loved him because he was the laid-back cocky guy with a smart mouth.
